The F Podcast

Dr. Nevena Musikic is a biomedical engineer and researcher who uses multimodal machine learning, speech acoustics, and facial kinematics to develop digital biomarkers for diseases like ALS.Nevena walks us through her research spanning assistive devices for laryngectomy patients, brain-controlled spinal stimulation that restored arm movement in paralyzed patients, and AI-powered pipelines to detect ALS earlier, before symptoms become clinically visible.This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Sabine Bois is a MedTech executive who has built and led global medical device companies across cardiac and dental systems.From early-stage capital raises in the 2000s to the C-suite of cardiac device and dental systems companies based in Germany, we explore how she has scaled distribution across 80 countries and navigated both European and American investor markets.This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Pauline Lam operates at the intersection of psychotherapy, behavioral science, and applied mental health.We explore the path that led her into psychotherapy, how different therapeutic approaches are applied in practice, and what it actually means to support individuals through complex emotional experiences.This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Camille operates at the intersection of data science, AI, and enterprise systems. Across startups, digital marketing, and large consulting environments, she has seen how the role of data has evolved, from isolated analysis to deeply embedded infrastructure. We explore how organizations manage data at scale, how models are deployed in practice, and what this shift means for how companies operate today. This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Hana Fahim grew up in Egypt, started a career in investment banking across the Middle East and Africa, and then walked away from it entirely to study the natural world.From the trading floors of Cairo to the rainforests of Peru, and now pursuing a PhD in movement ecology at the University of Toronto, we explore what drives animals to move, what their movement reveals about ecosystem health, and why this may be one of the most overlooked questions in wildlife preservation.This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Lindsay Kruit shares her journey from a small town on Vancouver Island to becoming a CFO across industries including forestry, retail, steel, and technology.From graduating into the 2008 financial crisis to navigating leadership across vastly different sectors, we explore how careers take shape, how financial leaders guide organizations through uncertainty, and what it takes to build perspective across industries.This is a conversation about the next frontier.

Dr. Wintta Ghebreiyesus shares her journey from aerospace research to lunar mining, and how artificial intelligence is transforming exploration in some of the most complex environments on Earth and beyond.From aerospace engineering to frontier capital, we explore how risk mitigation, machine intelligence, and long-term thinking enable progress in industries where failure is costly and success reshapes entire sectors.This is a conversation about the next frontier.
